Corey's Free Pick
Arizona State came out strong in their First Four matchup, and I like some of that momentum carrying over into this contest. The Sun Devils have the guard play to keep up with the Horned Frogs, and after shaking off first game jitters against Nevada, they should come out ready to go. TCU may come away as the victor, but Arizona State is going to give them a fight, and it could come down to the final possessions. Spot Arizona State the points this Friday night.
